Day Codes

Graduation

A student who expects to graduate at the end of the Spring 2013 semester must submit a graduation application no later than January 18, 2013. The deadline will be strictly enforced. Incomplete grades assigned in the semester of graduation will result in postponement of graduation. Upon completion of the course, the student must reapply for the next graduation date. A $150 graduation application fee is applicable each time a student applies for graduation.

Incompletes

Only in an emergency situation may a student request an incomplete "I" grade. It is the student's responsibility to arrange with the instructor for satisfactory completion of course requirements. An incomplete grade must be redeemed within the semester following its receipt, unless otherwise stated, or the student will be automatically awarded a final grade of "F". "I" grades, even when redeemed, are part of the official transcript. Incomplete grades earned during the spring 2013 semester are due to the instructors November 14, 2013.

Nineteen Credits

Students wishing to register for 19 credits or more must have the approval of both their advisor and the appropriate dean. The part-time tuition rate will be charged per credit in excess of 18 credits - $845.00 per credit hour (based on 2012-2013 fee structure in place at time of publication of this schedule)

Repeating Course For A Better Grade

With prior written authorization from the appropriate advisor and dean, a student may repeat a course to improve the cumulative grade point average. No Barry University course may be attempted more than 3 times. Withdrawals are counted as attempts.

For example, if the student has an F and repeats the course and receives an A, only the A counts. Quality points and credits attempted and earned for the second attempt are counted in lieu of those earned for the initial attempt. Though both attempts remain part of the student's permanent record, the cumulative grade point average will reflect only the grade earned on the second attempt.

The credit/no credit option cannot be exercised during the second attempt to remove a previous letter grade. Courses transferred from other institutions are not considered for a repeat.
